Hi Ringo,
ANONYM PSE CANNOT be selected as PSE in SOAMANAGER.
During execution of a SOAP request ANONYM PSE is AUTOMATICALLY used in the cases
- when SSL is configured
- but the authentication method differs from SSL client certificate.
Therefore the ANONYM PSE serves as trust anchor for the ssl server certificate.
I don't know by heart how the ping functionality in SOAMANAGER is implemented. It could be that it's using DFAULT PSE.
I usually test my web service clients with SE80 and selecting the client proxy here. Then I hit F8 and will be asked for the logical port that should be used in the call. This type of testing assures a call as it's being performed when the client proxy class is used in a real service invocation. And here the ANONYM PSE should be used.
Regards,
Mathias
